Salicylic Acid and Willow Bark Extract in Leave-on Cream for Acne and Pores

Regarding your cream formulation for acne, clogged pores, whitening, and pore tightening:

• The staff does not have feedback on the first ingredient list (Water, Glycerin, Sucrose Dilaurate, Polysorbate 20, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract) due to lack of information.
• For a leave-on cream formulation, the staff recommends using Salicylic Acid EZ instead of Encapsulated Salicylic Acid. Encapsulated Salicylic Acid is more suitable for wash-off products like cleansers.
• You are currently using both Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (6%) and Willow Bark Extract (5%). Both of these ingredients provide Salicylic Acid. The staff recommends choosing either Salicylic Acid EZ (at 10%) or Willow Bark Extract (at 10%), but not both, as they are redundant sources of the same active ingredient.
• If you prefer a natural option, choose Willow Bark Extract.

Therefore, you should replace the combination of Encapsulated Salicylic Acid and Willow Bark Extract with either Salicylic Acid EZ 10% or Willow Bark Extract 10%.
